To learn how to create a depth map from our image, you can use any photo editing tools such as Photoshop. Read a tutorial on how to do this here.

4. View your Live Preview and Save your 3D Photo

After uploading the depth map, you’ll see the live preview of your 3D Photo. You can Save 3D Photo on your local machine to then post onto Facebook.

Merge 2D Photo with Depth Map to Create 3D Photo

Note: Our live preview feature is still an early version, so don’t worry if the preview resolution or 3D effect feel off. Simply test your 3D Photo on Facebook and set privacy to “Only Me” to see what the experience will look like.
